Half of a grand brownstone measures 26' wide plus extensions on two floors.  This home contains the parlor and the garden levels plus the basement.

The magnificent Flemish Bond Brick brownstone was gut renovated six years ago and won an award from the Brooklyn Heights Association for the new stoop.  It is located half a block from the Promenade.

Seamless amalgamation of classical and modern aesthetics produce a rare sense of elegance and leisure. The open parlor floor with 14' high ceilings feels like a stylish loft.  The impressive grand space retains the essential period elements such as coffered ceilings, the fireplace with mahogany mantle and exquisite subtle moldings and plaster work.  Light and sunshine are present through huge floor-to-ceiling windows on Remsen Street and a wall of French doors with a Juliet balcony overlooking the landscaped, south facing garden.  Wide plank white oak floors and recessed lighting add warmth and intimacy.  The entire floor has radiant heat and central air-conditioning.  A gourmet chef's kitchen is positioned in the back area that leads to the extension.  This sun filled location facilitates a flow of social intercourse to the dining area on one side and to the casual library/den area with a second fireplace on the other side.  Kitchen features include a six-burner Wolf range, Sub Zero fridge, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry and granite counters.  The parlor floor contains a powder room and a large coat closet.

The home's second entrance leads through an entry hall to three bedrooms and two full baths.  The ceilings are 9' tall.  In the large master bedroom suite there is another fireplace and more French doors to access the delighful private backyard.  A walk-through closet is adjacent to the master bath with travertine floor tile and Duravit fixtures.  The second large bedroom is in the front and it shares a full bath with the third bedoom that occupies the extension.  There are large hallway closets and a laundry room with a sink and a gas dryer.  Split A/C units cool this level.

A terra cotta tiled floor mud room provides convenient access to and from the south facing back yard.  The blue stone patio with BBQ for dining al fresco overlooks the lush garden oasis with a mature crab apple tree, birch tree, blue atlas cedar tree, rose bushes and assorted vegetables.

The basement is exclusive and private to this duplex and it has a new furnace, an updated electrical system, a locked wine cellar and tons of storage space with potential for additional finished areas.
